How does the game fit into the theme?
Keep moving forward! But what direction is forward? Good question! You'll find it in the game.
What premade assets did you use if any?
The player animations ( not the cloud ones though )
What are the Discord usernames of everyone on your team?

Great idea, 1 bug i found is sometimes direction wont reverse. But this was so fun to play good work!
Incredible interpretation! this was amazing!
The undoubtedly best interpretation of the theme so far i think! Loved it very much
Pretty fun game and unique mechanic, nice job!
Simple yet deep mechanic actually, im really amazed you pulled this kind of gameplay idea, good job!
unique idea to create a puzzle with the concept that you have to move forward!
Yeah lol - When i first came up with the idea I was in science 5th period and I got REALLLY BORED so I decided to sneak my phone out and check the theme - and then I drew out some prototyping. Thank god for my teacher being very very lazy and just having the period be study hall.
Awesomeeee!!!!! Finally got around to playing it and really enjoy what you were cooking with! It was supreme :3
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
Congrats on this work! I find the core gameplay really clever, and I love how you gradually made the mechanics more complex.
I also want to highlight the UX—it’s really well done! The way the text is integrated into the levels and the reminder to press "R" when stuck at the end are great touches. These small details really help make the experience more cool!
As a suggestion for improvement, for better comfort, I might have mapped the jump to the "jump" key to make it feel more intuitive.
Thank you! There's so many ways to get stuck I just gave up and added the R reminder. For some reason the jump animation just wouldn't play when you pressed jump, so I just ended up not worrying about that too much and mapping it to when you're not on the ground. Thanks for playing my game and glad you enjoyed it!
Really cool puzzle game, I did get stuck a few times in the clouds levels and had to return to the main menu and reload the level, but that just meant I had to really think about if I should make that next move or not!
Overall, nice job!
Yeah - In the cloud levels you can reset with R, but I should've made that more clear lol
This one is actually something unique i have played so far ! well made and perfectly playable :3
Thanks, glad you liked it! I originally thought my mechanic was gonna be one of the most common, but hey, wouldya look at that.
Really liked the concept! My favourite levels were the cloud ones :). Did run into a few bugs, not sure if it was to do with the resolution of my browser, but the UI is a bit oversized? The jump sound also plays on input press rather than when the character jumps. The soundtrack and graphics fit the vibe well. Overall, good job :)
one mistake i have made during this game. not scaling the ui to screen. and then after i realized it was too late.
Just wow, this one is is such a brain teaser! Love it. Once we got to the cloud I was like brotha, brain power required for sure! Amazing job!
Glad you liked (actually loved) it! When I started dev for the platformer levels I thought it was waaaaaaaay too simple, so I decided to add the cloud parts. Thank god I added the cloud parts because like 2/3 of the levels are clouds.

Thanks for playing my game!
you executed this game extremely well! i think the level design makes this game really intriguing!
Thank you! This is one of my first times making a game so level-focused like this, so glad it turned out well!
I really liked how the movement mechanic created a sort of 2D platformer-puzzler combination, fun game!
Really cool interpretation of the theme! Love how you explored the mechanic to its fullest. I did accidentally win by touching the flag that was on the floating corner platform though.
Thanks for playing! also YOU CAN DO THAT???? Out of my 5 playtesters (all my family) that hasn't happened one time! Thanks for letting me know!
I love a good puzzle game and this hits for me. The scaling difficulty is perfect. Great job.
Thanks! Loved your game just the same amount :)
I liked the concept, it's simple but works as a puzzle game.
I think it could be expanded and more work could be done on the level design, so there are more interesting challenges.
Great job! :D
Thank you! Yeah, I agree for sure the level design is lacking, hopefully I'll get better with experience. Thanks for playing the game!
First of all got to get it off my chest: I just love the soundtrack, it just hits different. The game is very fun, guides you through it very well and the graphics are very fitting. As others said, sound design is top notch, and I think the gameplay is super polished.
The only things I would suggest is some UI improvements, idk if it's just me but the "next level" screen is a bit crowded, and I would like to be able to see how many coins I've collected while I'm playing the game.
10/10 love the game
Thank you for the feedback! Had to rush the UI elements so thats probably why they look a lil goofy, but glad you enjoyed the game!
Same hahaha, I guess that's how it is with game jams
I think your strong points on this are the core mechanic, and how well it ties into the theme. Sound is crisp and makes the experience for me as well! Any plans to update for future levels or areas?
for sure man! I JUST THOUGHT OF THE IDEA FOR MOVING PADS, sad i can't incorporate them now :(
